<p>Hey, today I've found myself debugging "things are slow because diagnostics are computed eagarly" issues for the third time, so I introduced a new label: Broken Window. It is for stuff which is not naturally high priority, but nontheless should be fixed as fast as possible, to avoid accumulation of technical debt and minor brokenness. </p>
<p>Roughly, any panic we see is a broken window.</p>

<p>Pantone 448 C, also referred to as "the ugliest colour in the world" ...<br>
The Australian Department of Health initially referred to the colour as "olive green", but the name was changed after concerns were expressed by the Australian Olive Association.[6]</p>

<p>I can confirm that if the software I use is buggy enough I just stop reporting bugs for it because it's not worth my time</p>
